Guests at the farm

We are now in the middle of July and the weather is weird for the season. We woudn´t know this of course since we only have been here for three months. But others, Portuguese, keep saying this. It is not so hot which we kind of like since we are working but our guests would like better, warmer weather.

Since April we have had 22 people/guests at the farm. It might not seem so much but for us it is quite overwhelming. Everything is new to us, we don´t speak the language, we cannot find our way around the area, son´t know anything about farming, vines, wine making, pruning, tractors and different types of fuel that goes into all our machines.

Our guests have all been lovely, supportive, positive, helpful and spreading happy happy energy around. We need it, thrive on it, feed on it because sometimes we are a bit sad, feeling melancholy, longing for our children, to read a Swedish newspaper, to understand the news on the telly.

Today lovely guests to off for Lisbon and a couple of days ago another pair took off for Barcelona. We feel a little left behind. We miss all our guests already.

Then we look out the window or look a the view from our veranda and sigh. This is where we want to be, to work together, spend time together.

On Tuesday new guests arrive. Then we go again.
